So for those of us who like to keep things updated (only way to get those security patches) how easy is it to switch roms? Can I just flash the Chinese 7.9.14 rom over the EU 7.9.7, and then just flash Opengapps and Magisk?

So I tried flashing the latest China dev rom (which seems to be only 7.9.8 atm) over the EU one and it works pretty ok, but Open Gapps doesn't work very well, with Google force closing every couple of minutes and gmail wont open. Tried messing around with permissions (some of the gapps don't have them set on automatically) but couldn't fix the Google FCs and gmail not opening, so I've gone back to a backup of the EU rom for now. Oh also the safety net check in the Magisk app fails.

I might try wiping everything first then installing the China rom, Magisk and OpenGapps to see if that fixes things but don't have the time atm.

The miui.it ROM seems to work a little better than the China Dev rom, but still has the same issues with Gmail and Safety Check.
Don't mind too much about Safety Check not passing, but I can't really do without Gmail.

I've been messing around with the China Dev rom, but couldn't find a gapps that worked properly with it. I tried the backup from the official forum and a newer backup from Tech Tablets, but they both had problems.

The best I could get it was Google Play Services would fc every couple of minutes and Google Play itself would get stuck on thinking I was logged out of Google when I wasn't. There's probably just some tiny part of Miui 9 for the Mi Pad 3 that's conflicting with Gapps, but I have no idea what it could be.
Anyway today I think I'll try a clean install of Miui.it because that did seem promising, plus it already has Gapps according to Pingy82 which I didn't realise when I first tried it.

There is only Italiano added, but if you flash it over xiaomi.eu rom, you keep your current language setting (don't change it after!)
Your apps will stay in your desired language, only system apps (settings, and a few others) will default to english.

Initial run of Play Store FC'd as did a few other Google apps but has worked well since. I get the occasional "Google Play Services has stopped" message which I never received on the EU versions. No issues with email via Inbox, installing or updating APK's and other apps.

Magisk Safety Net test reports ctsProfile as false and basic integrity as true. What this means in terms of DRM I am not sure as I don't use those services.

General observations on the China Developer ROM. September 14 build has split screen and August security patch. There are a couple of extra apps I didn't see on the EU build. Some of these can be manually removed. Can someone recommend a list of these apps that can be disabled and a good app for doing so?

It's a shame the xiaomi.eu builds have stopped. I disagree with the justification but ultimately, it's their project and their call. It would be great to get monthly and stable builds as others have said, if that is an option? Without that, I can live with the China developer ROM.
